CHAPTER 8

ALLORA'S P.O.V

Well that was unexpected. I didn't expect that Ara unnie would offer such a proposition to me. Being Super Junior assistant is a dream job for everyone, but it also comes as a big responsibility. This is one hard decision to make.

"Unnie, can you give me some time to think about it?" I asked after a moment of silence.

"Sure, think carefully and make your decision. But don't take too long. Once Super Junior's manager comes back, you will be taking my place. He will be back in two weeks so you have two weeks to think about." She said.

She is right. I need to think about it carefully.

"Unnie I need your honest opinion on this. Should I accept or not?" I asked her.

"Allora, I think this is a good experience and exposure for you. Yeah it can be stressful but really it's a fun job. But the decision still lies on you" she said.

"Wait unnie, where will you be going if I took your place when their manager comes back?" I said after processing everything she just said.

"I will be going back to my house. And you will move into the room that I'm temporary sleeping in.Don't worry I will come visit you and you will be safe." She said.

Well that explains everything.

"Unnie kamsahamnida for everything" I said as I stand up and bowed 90 degrees.

"Allora it's okay, we are family right?" she said while calling the waiter to take our order .

I'm really thankful for everything she has done for me. Knowing my situation back home, she offered to pay for my ticket to Korea with open arms. She even offered me a place to stay and a job as well.

"What do you want to eat?" she asked me while looking at the menu.

"You can order for me. I eat anything. " I said as I looked the menu kind of embarrassed because I don't really know how to read Korean.

"Arraso, can I have 1 spicy tteokbokki, 1 bimbibap and 2 ice water please" she said.

The waiter took our order and walked away.

4PM

Today was fun. We talked and laughed a lot.I had a good time with Ara unnie. Before I know it, it's time for us to leave. After having a late lunch with Ara Unnie, I decided to take a walk.

Here in Seoul, it is so peaceful compare to my place. As you are walking, you can see people doing their activities happily however, in my place, people don't even dare walking outside. You can hear people shouting, cursing and fighting everywhere. Although those things happens,somehow here... I feel safe.

Slowly, I took a seat on the nearest bench. While I was sitting, I can see that there are many lovers walking hand in hand. Laughing and smiling to each other. How nice is it to have someone precious next to you? To love and be loved. Envious and jealousy. That's how I describe my feelings right now.

Suddenly, a conversation I had with Ara-unnie just now popped into my mind. "

Me being Super Junior assistant manager?

Should I accept it or not?

Truthfully, I have been looking for a job. Wanting to start a new life and have some money. And Ara unnie's suggestion is not bad too. How hard can it be working with SUJU? I know them and they know me. Also, we live on a same roof. They are nice, kind and a happy-go-lucky bunch of guys. Eye-catching too. What more can I ask?

But... am I worth it? Will I be able to handle it? In my life, I have never been committed in anything. And now, to dedicate myself for them... wouldn't that be hard? I mean... it's not like I will be handling one person. But the whole group with 8 grown up, eye-catching man. Which is kind of nice but yet scary.

Suddenly my phone started ringing.

I look at my phone, and an unknown number popped out.

Unsure and confused who is it, I answered it.

"Hello, may I know who is this?" I asked nervously.

"Hey Allora, it's me Siwon oppa. Where are u now?

Siwon oppa? Wait. did I even give my number to him? Hmm it must be Ara unnie who gave my number. Who else would give besides her? She is the only one who has my number.

"Somewhere in a park." I answered after I zoned out for a while

"The one in nearby our apartment?"

"Yes. Why? What's wrong?" I said even more confused while figuring out the reason he called me.

"We need your help in something and it's important. I have no time to explain to you right now. So can you come back to the apartment? I'll explain everything later."

Before I could reply, I heard a click. He ended the call.

Does Ara unnie know what's going on? Should I call and ask her ?

However, spontaneously my legs were running to the apartment. I took the elevator up.

After centuries but really just a few minutes, I finally reached my floor. I started walking toward the apartment door.

Before I know it, I have reached. I nervously stood in front of the door.
